The Krubong–Durian Tunggal dual-function reservoir project, valued at RM603.7 million, represents a significant investment in flood mitigation infrastructure for the flood-prone region. The facility is designed to serve multiple purposes, combining flood control with water management capabilities to address the chronic flooding that has affected local communities for decades.
Residents of Belimbing Dalam have long endured the devastating impacts of regular flooding, which has caused considerable disruption to daily life, damaged property, and created ongoing uncertainty for families and businesses in the area. The proposed reservoir project offers a comprehensive solution to reduce flood risk and provide lasting protection to the community.
Construction timelines indicate the project should reach completion by 2030, providing a concrete timeline for relief efforts in the region. When operational, the dual-function facility is expected to significantly improve flood management capabilities and enhance water security for the surrounding areas.
The project reflects ongoing efforts by authorities to address chronic flood vulnerabilities in South and Southeast Asian communities through large-scale infrastructure development and long-term water management solutions.
